Description of the Powerbrush

The beater bar in the Powerbrush is

driven by a motor. Two of the four

rollers are height-adjustable, so that

you can set the Powerbrush to the

desired distance from the floor.

Recommended use

Do not use the Powerbrush on

high quality, hand knotted rugs, for

example Berber or Persian rugs, as

well as extremely long piled area

rugs and carpets. There is a danger

of the threads being pulled out. Turn

the Powerbrush off to vacuum these

types of floor coverings and use only

suction.

The Powerbrush is particularly suitable

for cleaning and restoring crushed

carpet pile of wall to wall carpeting and

floor coverings subject to hard wear,

especially in high traffic areas.

To clean hard flooring, it is better to use

the floor brush.

Observe the cleaning instructions of

the floor manufacturer.

Using the Powerbrush

For best results, move the

Powerbrush slowly back and forth

over the carpet.

Carpet fringes can be brushed flat if

you carefully glide the Powerbrush in

the proper direction (from the carpet

toward the floor).

Connecting the Powerbrush

To connect the Powerbrush to your

vacuum cleaner refer to the illustrations

at the end of these Operating

Instructions.

Height adjustment

To help better care for your flooring,

you can select one of 5 brush distances

from the floor. The selected setting will

be displayed.

Setting 1 - closest to the floor

Setting 5 - highest distance from the

floor

Press the foot switch (as shown) until

you reach the desired setting.

Releasing the suction elbow

Press the release button c and

remove the intake socket.

On/Off switch on the

handpiece

The Electro hoses SES 116, SES 117,

SES 118 and SES 119 are equipped

with a switch on the hand piece, which

allows the Powerbrush to be turned on

and off separately.

This allows you to vacuum without the

beater bar is desired, e.g. switching

from carpet to hard flooring.

Frequently asked questions

What if the Powerbrush automatically

shuts off?

The vacuum has overheated. The

temperature limiter automatically turns

the vacuum off.

This can occur if, for instance, large

articles block the suction tube or when

the filter bag is full or contains particles

of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or

dust compartment filter can also be the

cause of overheating.

Turn the vacuum off and pull the plug

from the outlet.

Inspect the vacuum hose / wand and

all filters.

It is important to allow the Powerbrush

to cool off. It should be ready for use

again in approx. 10 minutes.

Plug in the vacuum cleaner and

switch it back on.

Maintenance and care

Removing threads and hair

^ Turn off and unplug the vacuum

cleaner.

^ Use scissors to cut any threads or

hair that have wound around the

roller brush.

The trimmings will be vacuumed up

once the vacuum is turned on again.
